[Maeve]

Syrian liturgy invokes Mary, who carries in her womb the Baby Jesus, calling her “second heaven”.

Stunningly true.

[NYer]

"Mary was the first to receive in her womb the Body and the Blood of Christ. The Incarnation was the first Communion of history. The first tabernacle was her immaculate heart."

This is the awesome beauty reflected upon in the East! What a magnificent thought to ponder in prayer.
